HOT CROSS BUNS

How is NPD helping to drive continued growth in the hot cross bun market?

Volume sales of hot cross buns rose 4.1% last year in supermarkets, according to Kantar Worldpanel data, suggesting manufacturers are doing a good job of delivering products that are appealing to consumers.

This article will look at how this has been achieved, by highlighting innovation in flavours (such as chocolate and berries) and formats (including giant and mini buns).
